Shhh Mommy...

The other day I was busy folding clothes and it was very quiet. I thought, uh oh, where is Jonas. I found Jonas on the bed. He actually wasn't doing something horrible, instead I found him with the scriptures open pretending to read. I thought it was so funny! I tried to say something to him and he just said, "Shhh Mommy." He hears "Shhh" alot when we are reading scriptures. If you look closely, the scriptures are upside down. Too cute!

Happy Halloween!!

Because Halloween was I Friday, I had to work. Bummer! But thankfully Jonas was able to Trick or Treat with his cousins. So here are a few pictures of our Halloween night.

Trunk or Treat

So for the past couple of months, I've been asking Jonas what he wants to be for Halloween. I tried to get him to want to be a ghost or something easy, but of course he wanted to be his favorite cartoon character, Curious George. And nothing was going to change his mind. I found some George costumes online, but they all looked kind of ridiculous. So, I decided to sew his costume myself. It come out pretty good, I thought. I had a few do-overs here and there, but it was good experience. Now I am in a sewing frenzy. Anyway, here are some pictures of Trunk or Treat at the Woodstock Ward.

Preschool at the Quicks

Preschool this week was at our house. We learned about the letter C, triangles, yellow (you can tell in the pictures) and the number three. The kids had a great time and the moms had fun chatting.

It's all good

I just looked up on the net what type of spider is inhabiting my back porch (see post below) and it's just a harmless golden garden spider. They actually are good to have around to catch annoying mosquitos and other pests. However, we will definitely keep our distance.

It's a Jungle Out There...

So I opened the blinds behind the kitchen sink and this is what I saw right smack in front of the window. Freakin-A that's a huge spider. Thank goodness for the glass between us. All I can say is where is Ben at a time like this. 4 more hours until he comes home!
